Reading Log #2 Title:Amulet:The Cloud Searchers
Author:Kazu Kibushi
Genre:Graphic Novel, Adventure
Rating: * * * Plot Summary; Emily is determined to lead her family away from harm, away from the elves who are also determined to take over Alledia. In order to keep her family safe, she needs to fight the elves off. Will she be strong enough, with her new power? Or will she lose control of it?
Personal Response: The author could put more twists into books, because I found it easy to guess what would happen next. Thankfully the ending was a good one. Emily got her peacefulness, with her family at Celis.

Title: The Ghost Next Door
Author: R.L Stine
Genre: Horror
Rating: * * *
Plot Summary: A girl has lived in her house ever since...but someone recently moved next door and said that they moved in a long time ago. Even stranger, the people there don't open the door when she knocks, and they disappear at random times. Could they be ghosts?
Personal Response: The story had a twist in it, which is a really important part of a book. I was surprised when it was actually the girl and HER family who were the ghosts. I enjoyed the story, and read it over and over again, but then it got very boring. I think the author can use different techniques in his story because many of his stories are just like each other book he wrote.
